Moviecut—Me & You, Us, Forever

Having gone through a bittersweet divorce with my high school sweetheart, there are many issues worked through here. It's not an exciting subject but it is identifying of issues that can be moved through. Misnomer- The guy is NOT a stalker. He's misguided, which he admits later, but not a stalker. Although his friends do try to alert & warn him, he has to find out for himself & his friends move through the whole process with him. At first I thought the acting was terrible but when I thought back to my divorce time period, there isn't a lot that's wonderful going on at that time & I thought they did a good job trying to portray the UNglorious ways one can feel at this time. But there is also hope. I avoided going to a divorce recovery group but I'm glad I did decide to go. It was helpful althogh not the most fun thing I ever did. This is a worthwhile movie for those in a certain place & with certain issues that need to be moved through during a divorce. I think it could be helpful for those who are not going through a divorce themselves, to help them gain more insight into what the divorced person is going through.

This is one of the worst movies. The man was a sick, childish stalker type man living in a fantasy world about a girlfriend from 30 years ago that he dumped. He goes and stalks her house to make sure nobody was home besides her and then he just shows up. He was rude to people he worked with going on about his 30 year fantasy and blamed God for his marriage breaking up. I would have left him too. The people can't act and we're all so stiff and phony. Don't bother watching it. I don't know what else I can write about this horrible movie. Why do movie companies waste their money on something so bad? P.

I was interested in seeing this movie because I knew it was Christian based. The director had a good idea/intentions when making this movie but it could have been better. I can understand why someone would still have feelings for who they believe is the greatest love of their life. However, I didn't understand why the director made his friends so insensitive, mean and rude. The main character kept apologizing to his friends when they were the ones mean to him. They weren't understanding at all and they used God as a reason to explain their behaviors. The main character, nor anyone else didn't know if the ex-girlfriend was divorced, still married etc but they were against him resolving old feelings that needed to be dealt with. His friends were suppose to be Christians and should have been portrayed as being supportive whether they agreed with his decision or not. So many times we do things in life where we don't apologize to those we have hurt in the past and when he was trying to do this they were all against him. The ironic part was his new female friend accused him of having stalking behavior for simply looking up an old friend, when she did a really odd thing to get a hold of his name, address and phone number...she seemed to be the stalker!. she didn't seem like a friend at all but was only looking out for herself. God is love...and I think God wants people to be with the person they were meant to be with and i feel the movie did a terrible injustice by making it seem like God doesn't care about true love...only that you stay with someone you made a bad choice with. We all make mistakes...it's all about what steps you take to make amends. Like I said the movie had potential but I was tired of the one-sided point of view being constantly repeated and jammed down the viewers throat by his so-called...well-meaning friends. This movie didn't hold true to the Christian belief of love but i give it a C for its effort.

For a Christian based theme this is a most thorny subject to tackle because divorce if not an outright no-no is frowned on. But most Protestant denominations do recognize there is a time to call it quits and move on. Which is what most of us do or should do. But Michael Blain-Rozgay just can't and he starts thinking about a girl from high school and gets to obsessing over her. He's in a Christian support group for divorced people and even has found Stacy Aswad a nice girl also going through a breakup. Still he obsesses on about the girl from high school to the point of doing a little semi-stalking. His behavior rightly frightens his friend and partner Hugh McLean and Aswad. So what happens when he finally rings the bell of Sandi Fix? A pleasant conversation which indicates to him there ain't nothing going to happen with her so he drops her an evangelical hint about getting born again and then picks up with his life. Mind you are some lessons to be drawn here, not the least of which could come to me. But any number of folks will be put off by the shrill Christian tone of the message. Really is what the filmmaker telling us is that God's plan was all along to have Blain-Rozgay drop his old flame a hint about salvation and then move on?

The film had some legitimate potential. The protagonist asks a legitimate question: why does God allow his divorce? The plot even seems to not throw the standard "God has a plan" as the answer. But it failed miserably. Message in a nutshell: its OK for a middle age single father to be completely self absorbed. Better yet, its a good idea for that same father to be fixated on his high school sweetheart who he broke up with 25 years ago. Then, its a great idea to hop a flight, stalk her house, and talk with her - never mind the fact that she's married. After the strangest, most awkward, and fake conversation possible, he quickly "shares the gospel" with her. If you want a movie with some funny cheesy lines and good lead actor and a couple good looking actresses, you might think of watching this. It will surprise you at the least (if by nothing else, the middle school quality actors are funny.) If you want a movie that gives good advice to anyone, flee far away.

I just finished this movie, and here's the spoiler: NOTHING HAPPENS. We get endless establishing shots of houses and buildings and cars and trees and whatever, slow, boring dialogue that goes nowhere, acting that is on a par with a sixth-grade skit, and no story whatsoever. I was astonished to see the words at the end "Based on a true story." A story of what? A true story where nothing happens, apparently. Basically, this guy is 47 and divorced and starts thinking about his old girlfriend. His thinking turns into obsession and eventually borderline stalking. There's a woman from his divorce recovery group who has taken a shine to him, but he's much more into his fantasy. He finally flies to New York to see her, they talk for a bit, and he leaves. He goes home, apologizes to the other woman for yelling at her, and the movie ends. THAT IS IT. There is nothing at all to this movie. It goes nowhere, you have no reason to get emotionally invested in anybody except the woman from the group, and even then all you want to do is step into her character and slap him silly. This may well be the single most pointless movie I have ever sat through. Don't make the same mistake I did.

I really enjoyed this movie. I have been in this exact situation - meeting the girl you missed in high school 26 later. Would have loved to see their reunion go more deeply--because it can. Time doesn't always change everything. The essentials can remain and if it was love, real love, it love never dies. It can be picked up where things left off. Good theme music and and gently handled. Jesus is an architect of souls, He can match a man and woman like no one can. Good job Dave.

Well, I have to confess I didn't watch this movie to the end. Not that I'm lazy, but this film has many problems. To begin with, the acting is poor most the time. I know it's a low budget production, but they could've cast better actors. Hugh McLean is the worst of them all in my opinion. The story is pretty interesting, and I believe many people can relate to it, but the story takes too long to develop. Nothing much really happens; you only hear thousand of beautiful (and sad) thoughts-- not to mention the irritating and never ending god references. To sum it up, it's an interesting subject but it's execution is very poor! Avoid it.
